Does play violent video game influence people’s behavior?
From Wikipedia: Violent video game has been a serious problem in society since 1980s. There are lots of theories about the potential for it to negatively impact player attitude and behavior. And also, there are lots of studies have been done by a wide range of psychologists and government agencies with the aim of addressing the issue of harm. These studies have aimed at the addiction, aggression, violence, social development, and variety of stereotyping and sexual morality issues. However, the results of these studies have been controversial. In aggression studies, analysts have found that exposure to violent video games correlates with at least a temporary increase in aggression and a decrease in prosocial behavior. Other studies indicate that playing violent video game actually is not related to aggressive behavior. Some studies even conclude that playing video game promote the prosocial behavior.

From CBS NEWS: “Adam Lanza was motivated by violent video games and a strong desire to top Norwegian mass shooter Anders Breivik's toll of 77 deaths during his July 2011 massacre, citing law enforcement sources. He reports that Lanza targeted nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School during the December shooting because it was the "easiest target" with the "largest cluster of people.” Even thought, we still cannot link violent video game with violent behavior. “Dr. Christopher Ferguson, department chair of psychology and communications at Texas A&M International University in Laredo, says he has not come across any link between playing violent video games and likelihood for violent behavior. Ferguson, who presented for Biden's task force in January, said many people understand at this point that most people who play violent video games won't become violent themselves and that there is a mental health component at play.”

From Howstuffworks; According to the authors behind the meta-analysis, when young people are playing a violent video game, their blood pressure and heart rate increases, and "fight or flight" hormones like adrenaline flood the brain. The same thing happens when people are in an actual, physical fight. One study even showed a difference in physical arousal between a bloody version of "Mortal Kombat" (a fight-to-the-death game) and a version with the blood turned off. The brain scans of the kids who played the violent game showed increased activity in the amygdala, which stimulates emotions, and decreased activity in the prefrontal lobe, which regulates inhibition, self-control and concentration. These activity changes didn't show up on the brain scans of the kids playing "Need for Speed."
